Harrogate-based roofers covering Bramham (LS23). Roof repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs, chimneys and gutters, priced in writing and guaranteed for ten years.
A limestone village around a green, with estate cottages, farmhouses and barns near the park and newer homes on the edges. Bramham is roughly half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 or A658, and we are on that side of the county most weeks. The age of the house changes the materials, not the method: we survey properly, explain it in plain words, quote in writing and guarantee the work.
Fibreglass, EPDM and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and bays. Laid to fall so water actually leaves.

Find out more →Front Street, Low Way and the lanes around the green are limestone village cottages, listed and estate properties and period farmhouses and barns, with newer village homes at the edges. Bramham roofers are working on stone slate, Welsh slate and clay pantile far more often than on anything modern, and much of it sits within the conservation area or on land connected to Bramham Park. Materials, mortar and detailing all have to match what is already up there.
Farmhouse and barn roofs are the bulk of the heavier work. Original timbers were sized for a covering that has since been changed at least once, battens have softened, and the fixings are usually what has failed rather than the slates themselves. Barn conversions leak at the new details: rooflight kerbs, the junction where a new gable meets old stone, and valleys formed in a hurry. On the cottages the list is slipped slates, lime repointing on stacks, and lead that has been patched with mastic when it should have been renewed.
This is open country, high enough and flat enough that a westerly runs straight through the village, and the estate parkland offers less shelter than it looks like it should. Ridge stones and pots move, and verge mortar on the exposed gables cracks year on year. Big mature trees along the park boundary fill gutters and valleys, and on a long farmhouse elevation with undersized cast iron downpipes that quickly puts water down the wall.
Bramham is close to home for us, a twenty-minute run from Harrogate down the A1(M), which means surveys at short notice and same-day attendance when a storm has taken something off. Heritage repairs in matched stone slate, re-roofs, barn and outbuilding work, chimney repointing, lead work and cast iron rainwater goods are all covered, and we are comfortable with the requirements that come with listed and conservation properties. The survey is free, the findings are photographed and the price goes in writing before any work starts. Ring 0113 460 1042.
Cottages and farmhouses around Bramham were built to shrug off weather, and mostly they still do. When the roof does need attention it tends to be re-fixing slates on fresh battens, sorting a valley, or re-bedding a ridge, always in the right materials.
Listed buildings and conservation streets in Bramham come with rules, and rightly so. Matched slate, lime rather than cement, lead worked traditionally, and a clear word from us about whether consent is needed before we quote. It is the kind of work we like doing well.
Stone-built houses in Bramham usually carry stone slate or Welsh slate on timbers that have done a century or more. The recurring jobs are slates that have split and slid, chimneys wanting lime repointing, and lead that has cracked along the folds.
